Swing Quotations | Page 2

She is just beginning to swing a bat.

She is valuable to us, because she can swing the bat, play third and pitch. It gave us a chance to work her in. Morgan threw a good ballgame.

She must not swing her arms as though they were dangling ropes; she must not switch herself this way and that; she must not shout; and she must not, while wearing her bridal veil, smoke a cigarette

My last three at-bats, I didn't really feel good. I started getting some back spasms and it kind of affected my swing a little bit. It's no excuse. We had opportunities to take the lead. We didn't take advantage of it, and that's what happens.

One match could swing one way or another, you just never know until you get out there.

Of course I danced a lot when I was making 'Swingers.' The swing music scene was big in Hollywood, and I went to places like The Derby. And, after I wrote it and was trying to get it made, I would go every week so I'd be good at dancing.

One thing we have to do better is swing at good pitches early. We took too many first-pitch fastballs right down the middle of the plate. That's not my team.

Munson had a nice spring training. If he continues to swing the bat like he's been doing in spring training and give us a threat, then that's a good thing.

Musically, swing pretty much dominated in the '30s. And into the late '30s, swing is beginning to change over to bebop in the early '40s, which is exactly when this new science of theoretical physics, particularly theoretical atomic physics, was really coming to the fore.

My grandfather was a massive influence in my music. Growing up, he would play a lot of old-school records to me. A lot of jazz and swing music, actually, growing up.

My golf swing is out of sync. I've been hitting a lot of pull hooks. That's really caused me a lot of troubles. You can't survive on the tour playing out of the thick stuff. You need to hit fairways.

My golf swing is good. Most of my problems were because of injuries that forced me to swing the club differently than I wanted to. Today was one of those days when I got the most out of the round I could.

Obviously, this quarterly swing is a one-off event.

Obviously the first thing you think about it is: What's this first swing going to feel like? And I took that first swing, and I was amazed how well it did feel.

Obviously, Jack sensed that the momentum was starting to swing their way,

Right field is important, but what we're looking for is common sense. Swing at the ball in the strike zone. His tendency is to be overly aggressive. We think we can throttle him back.

My swing was much better today than it has been.

My swing is definitely not there. Yesterday I was very bad off the tee and I had to keep chopping out sideways. I was a bit better today, at least I kept the ball in play more.

My swing felt great so I was firing at every pin no matter where it was. I had a few chances but it was a lovely day for me so I can't complain.

My swing feels good. Last night (Friday), I missed a home run by just a couple of feet. And the game before that, I hit a couple of balls hard. I don't feel I'm in a slump. I still feel every time I'm out there that I'm going to hit a home run.

My school attendance record is a little periodic. Going to school here is no problem once you get into the swing of things.

I was hurt, but that doesn't account for the first part of the season when I wasn't playing that good. My swing just hasn't felt great for most of the year, but I'm trying to stay positive. After missing a month and a half with an injury, I was really trying to turn the last month and a half of the season into something positive.

I was four back there and he made (two) bogeys, ... On 10, I hit the best putt I hit all day and it doesn't go in, and his goes in and that's a big swing there.

I was four back there and he made bogeys on eight and nine, ... On 10, I hit the best putt I hit all day and it doesn't go in, and his goes in and that's a big swing there.

I was surprised at how far back he was. I would have liked to have been a lot closer, but they were running fast so I left him alone. I let the horse do his own running. At the quarter pole, he was flying, so I had to swing him out into the clear, and he got the job done.

I was telling our guys to get as few walks as possible because we wanted to swing the bats today.

I was telling myself not to do too much, not to try to hit the ball 600 feet, ... Just stay within myself, stay controlled and put a nice, easy swing on the ball and hit it hard.

I was pleased with the way I improved over the course of the match, ... By the end of the match, I was much more comfortable. But I was a little nervous in the beginning and the ball was really flying. I was trying to go after the ball so it didn't play me, but I wasn't quite committed to letting my swing go, so I was sort of moving forward and not finishing my swing, and I was losing control of a few shots.

I gradually just worked on the swing and started hitting the ball better. That led to making some putts and that's been the key. It's just fun to go play again.

I got the new equipment, my swing clicked with it and I worked on getting my swing more efficient. And there it was. I'm dead serious.

I got lucky on that, ... I caught a little too much of the plate. I'm happy he didn't swing at it.

I got lucky, ... It caught too much of the plate, and I was glad he didn't swing at it.

If they pitch to him, he's going to swing a good bat. I'd pitch to him if the game doesn't mean anything. ... The fact he told me to leave it the way it is, 'cleanup,' tells me he's ready to compete out there.

If we can swing the bat and be particular about what pitches to swing at, and be patient and stuff like that, I think we can put some pressure on some people. You look at the numbers these guys put over through the course of the year, there's no easy out in there. That makes it tough on everybody.

I have confidence in my swing and know that it's there and that I can get the job done.

I have definitely gotten longer. I have new muscles and my golf swing has changed, so once in a while I can hit one pretty far out there. But it's learning how to use those muscles on a consistent basis.

I don't have doubts that he'll hit or that they'll walk him. The swing has always been there.

I don't find myself coming to grips with doing things like that at this early stage until we see him swing the bat and see what he looks like.

I'd like to shoot 59 before I'm 59. I've shot 60. I'd like to win the PGA, but I think that chance has passed. I'd like to hit a perfect shot each time I swing a club.

I'd like to shoot 59 before I'm 59, ... I've shot 60. I'd like to win the PGA, but I think that chance has passed. I'd like to hit a perfect shot each time I swing a club.

I don't know what to say. We didn't swing the bats.

I don't know when it happened or how it happened. I couldn't swing at all after that.

I don't, but if he'd swing the bat, he would be. It's not different than anyone else.

I'd been in a little bit of a slump. The last couple of games I kind of got back into the swing of things.

I can hit. I feel like I can swing the bat. I just feel like I can't run 100 percent. Swinging the bat is no problem. Just running.

I am here to get ready for the season. My main objective is to throw good pitches. I want the guys to swing the bats and hit the ball. I was really happy for a while there, the fact I was getting ahead.

Ian Snell made an adjustment from what he was doing early on and got the ball down to where he could be very effective. He forced the opposition to have to swing the bat. He got himself some early-count outs. As a result, he kept his pitch count in order and was able to go through the fourth inning.

Casey was exactly the person I wanted to have at the plate in that situation because she does an excellent job of watching the ball she doesn't swing at many bad pitches. She had the opportunity to win the game with one swing.

Basically, we have signals out there that are subject to high winds. They'll swing back and forth, up and down. The heads will break off and the wires will come down.

I'm a swing guy. Three hundred pounds, 6-foot-4, great athlete. A guy who can play any position on the offensive line. I'm athletic enough.

I'm always nervous. I was really nervous on that last one. You never feel calm. You just have to trust your swing and let it go. If you miss, you miss, you just have to keep your confidence.

I'm always nervous, ... I was really nervous on that last one. You never feel calm. You just have to trust your swing and let it go. If you miss, you miss, you just have to keep your confidence.

I had a terrible West Coast swing but I've figured some things out and I'm feeling pretty good heading into this week.

I have moved on. Doing these interviews really gets me back in the swing of things. After being let go, it's the best thing that could happen to me.

I had trouble with my eyes because I was sweating so much and it was getting into the eyes. I'll give it a shot in the last round. My swing still feels good.

I had totally anticipated being ready to play last January because my doctor had said three months, blah-blah-blah. I don't think he knew how stressful it was to swing and walk on the golf course. My foot never healed. Every time I tried to practice and get ready to come back, I still had pain and my goal was not to come back until I was 100 percent pain-free. By the time this year started, I still wasn't 100 percent. In Hawaii, I could still feel it. I still feel it now but I can swing without pain. I think walking the last month has been the final healing process. Right now, it finally feels good.

I felt pretty good. I had good command of all four of my pitches. They've got guys that can swing the bats over there. It's a challenge to face them.

I felt I had to (salute the fans), especially to those who were cheering. Unfortunately, I didn't swing the bat well, so I guess I helped the Red Sox.

I felt good out there. My first at-bat I struck out looking and wanted to be more aggressive in my next few at-bats. Coach Smoke (Laval) told me to just let it go and try to pull the ball and get my best swing off. My next two at-bats, I got two good pitches to hit and was able to pull them out of the park.

I felt good last year. I know my swing well enough that when things go south, I can make the adjustments.

I felt all right but not great. My arm was a little tired coming into this. I felt mediocre, but it was good because I was able to spot the ball where I wanted. I threw it where I wanted and made them swing at my pitch. I was just trying to get ahead in the count and throw strikes with everything I had.

If I play a bad round, which I've been having lately, Mulder will let me have it. I've heard his whole game before. I don't worry about it. It's getting ready to swing the other way.

I feel good about the way I'm scoring. My golf swing still feels like I took two months off.

I feel good about our chances (Saturday). We've got a good pitcher on the mound, and hopefully we can swing the bats a little better.

I feel good about our chances. But Rice is very talented. They have three right-handed pitchers who were drafted this week. They can also swing the bats. They went into LSU at Alex Box and won, so that tells you they can play a little bit.

I feel excellent right now. My body is loose and my swing is where I want it to be.

I feel real good right now, not just with the swing or playing outfield or throwing. I feel good physically. I'm healthy. My legs feel good from my feet all the way up through my back.

I feel pretty good, ... To not swing a baseball bat in almost a year, no spring training, and go to a college and hit in a cage for a week and come out here and face major league pitching ... like I try to tell these guys, 'If I give you a little, it's a lot in this stage.'

I feel real relaxed at the plate. I changed my swing a little bit from last year and it has really paid off.

I feel that I played an all-around good match today. I held my serve really well today. I was able to hit some excellent passing shots and that kept Jeff at the baseline, which helped swing the match in my favor.

I feel like I've been blessed with a great family and great parents and all of the opportunities I had growing up. I figured why not see how far I can go. Take a stab and see what happens - swing the bat hard.

I can't say enough about the hitters. They battled counts - went up there with the mentality of not trying to tie it with one swing or 'we need home runs to win.' They just battled, got on and stuck to our game plan.

If I was going to go out there, I was going to go full bore. It wouldn't do any good for me to go out there and swing 70 percent and try to guide the ball somewhere.

Give me an easy chair and a glass of tea and I can watch him swing the bat all day long.

For me, the full swing is easier to fix than my putting or my pitching or chipping. So today was a big positive for me.

From a good lie in the middle of a fairway bunker, I'll make the same swing as I do from an average fairway lie. I'll dig my feet in slightly and keep my lower body stable so I won't slip, but I don't change my club selection or setup. It's only when the ball is sitting down in the sand that I'll make some modifications.

I expect a lot out of myself. When I swing the bat really well, the boys roll. It's important for me to go out and take responsibility for what I have to do each and every day.

I enjoy co-writing. I've been co-writing for a long time now. I'm sure the pendulum will swing back to writing alone. For the moment I just enjoy working with someone else.

From the rough, I'd use a 6-iron, play the ball back an inch or two and swing down on a steeper angle to catch the ball first. It also helps to aim slightly left and open the clubface at address. You'll get more height on the shot, and the club will cut through the grass more easily.

For the seniors I know this win meant a lot. But we still have more we want to accomplish. We wrestle Fortuna on Tuesday and judging by their performances in prior tournaments it's going to come down to a few swing matches just like tonight.

For this time of year, the times being put up here are just crazy. When we get into the full swing of spring season, that's when you usually see these kinds of times.

If it feels good tomorrow, I'll be ready to play soon. I don't how I'll feel until I swing and miss. You never know until the game.

He's got unbelievable power -- plus/plus power. You can see it coming. He's getting his swing down. The ball was really jumping off his bat. Look out for Italy.

He's got to swing better than he's swinging, that's for sure.

He was dreading every golf swing he had to take.

He was certainly in our top 10 in the country. He wasn't very physical at that stage, but you saw the defense, and the kid always had a sweet swing and great hand-eye coordination.

I always swing at bad pitches, ... But lately I was swinging at even worse ones.

He was trying to swing (the election) toward the other guy anyway. Everybody knew it. He's basically just wiggling his way out of it.

He was the hero of the day. We were battling Montrose for second or third place, and Jake passed two Montrose kids in the last 50 meters to make a huge swing in the points totals. Last year he was our 7th runner or top JV running, so he's really stepped up and filled the gap.

He's certainly a plus defensive player, and if he ends up showing he can swing the bat ... and he gets his foot in the door, it might be one of those situations where you can't get him out.

He had three 0-2 counts where he left some pitches up and they just jumped on them; those kids swing the bat. I think he was fired up with all the kids in the crowd. But once he calmed down, he was tough to hit.

He is flat-out over anxious. He has come out of his game a little bit and maybe put more into his swing than normal.

He is a very good bowler, there is no doubt about that, but he is mostly dangerous only when the ball is new. He can get the new ball to swing around a lot, but once the ball gets older, he isn't so much of a threat.

Heinrich Heine once imagined the exiled Israelite as a dog who regains his stolen manhood only when he embraces the Sabbath bride. I see western swing performing a similar function in hardscrabble Texas, turning dirt-poor hired hands into Dapper Dans with magic feet at the Saturday night hoe-down.

He got out of his game. He got out of what helped to get him off to a great start. I saw a much longer swing in Houston. I saw a very short wall in left field and I saw somebody that was trying to reach it way too often.

He got hold of a fastball and just ripped it. He had a good swing and he's a good hitter. It's just one of those things that happens.

He got a fastball down and in and got a good swing on it. Frank's a young kid and has a lot to learn, but he's swinging the bat well.

He goes through streaks every year, good streaks offensively and defensively. He was very diligent during Spring Training. He's got a great swing path working right now, and just happens to be swinging the bat real well.

He enjoys very strong support there. His problem is with swing voters.

He gave him a 96 mph fastball. In his last at-bat, it was a 41-year-old playing a day game after a night game. That was an awesome pitch. It was not easy. But Barry knows how to swing like that on a fastball.
